Chapter 809 The monarch and ministers are bitter!

In any aspect, Qi Yuanzhi should not have the upper hand in the confrontation between Qi Yuanzhi and Cao Weiming, because Cao Weiming had too many cards in his hand. Qi Yuanzhi was very worried when he just set out from Liaodong to enter the Central Plains, but now, Qi Yuanzhi feels that he has taken the absolute initiative.

There is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests. Qi Yuanzhi felt particularly interesting to appreciate this sentence at this moment. In this way, Qi Yuanzhi was very strong, and Cao Weiming no longer had much power to resist. The two agreed that while the northern official road was still accessible, the Central Plains immediately prepared 500,000 stones of grain to transport to Liaodong. In order to receive the grain transport, the Liaodong army sent 30,000 troops to approach Bingzhou. In fact, the purpose of these 30,000 troops was to block the northwest army from going south to the Central Plains and provide security for Cao Weiming!

The Central Plains peace talks have made a breakthrough, and Lu Zheng's heart has also been put down. At this time, he happened to go to Shandong, and the royal palace in Shandong has been repaired. This is a special gift from His Majesty Emperor Xinde to Lu Zheng. Now Dakang has been destroyed in name only, especially the throne of Emperor Xinde seems not so legitimate. After all, Long Zhaohuan in Jiangnan has just ascended the throne and regarded himself as the monarch of Dakang, while Emperor Xinde has become the Supreme Emperor. Such a farce is really ridiculous.

The imperial palace in Shandong also seemed quite simple. Emperor Xinde was a smart man and a man who was good at using power. After he fled to Shandong, he rewarded the Shandong gentry. The Shandong gentry, who had been living in a corner for so many years, had no choice but to achieve success, suddenly became famous. Therefore, Emperor Xinde actually won the hearts of the people in Shandong, and the people were extremely willing to return home!

I have to say that if Emperor Xinde was devoted to serving the people, he would definitely be a good emperor. His talents and methods were really extraordinary, but Emperor Xinde hated government affairs in his heart. He was just thinking about seeking immortals and asking for the truth, so that he could live forever, and thus control the world and the people forever!

Lu Zheng just took a short rest in his palace. Before his wives could tell his longing for him, he went straight to the palace without stopping. Emperor Xinde still looked the same, and his fairy-like appearance did not look sick, but instead gave people a particularly energetic feeling.

Lu Zheng knelt up to worship, Emperor Xinde smiled and said, "I am calm. Now I rely on everything for my Dakang. Can the country and country of Dakang be unified? My shoulders and mountain burden are the heaviest! My dear, this time you come to Shandong, but I will ask you if you have any requests. I will definitely satisfy you!

Liaodong is a bitter and cold place, and you cannot live here for a long time. When the time is ripe, you must take the Central Plains. Only when I get the Central Plains will my great health have the foundation for liberation!”

Lu Zheng laughed at Emperor Xinde's words in his heart, because who doesn't understand this principle in the world? This is just the correct nonsense, but at this moment, Lu Zheng looked very educated and said seriously:

"Your Majesty, your words have really solved my troubles for many years. Although Liaodong produces horses, Liaodong does not produce grain. In recent years, our Liaodong soldiers have suffered from shortage of food! This year is a troublesome year for Liaodong. Song Naifeng, a thief in the northwest, is desperate and wants to wipe out Liaodong. Our Liaodong soldiers work hard and finally eliminate the threat from the northwest, but they have suffered a great loss as a result!

For the current plan, we can only find a way from Shandong to see if Shandong can trade with Liaodong, so that it can alleviate the dilemma of Liaodong!”

Emperor Xinde nodded slightly and said, "The Shandong gentry mostly supported my great-kang dynasty. I will draw an order to let them all come to see you. I believe that they are all people who consider the overall situation and will definitely help Liaodong!"

Emperor Xinde was very kind, and the comments between the monarch and his ministers were particularly harmonious. Emperor Xinde also left Lu Zheng to have dinner with his ministers. When Lu Zheng came out of the palace, two hours had passed.

Lu Zheng returned to the palace, and the food in the palace was ready. Lu Zheng stepped back and said word by word: "After eating today, pack up immediately. Tomorrow morning, Ying'er, Xiaojing, you will set off for Liaodong immediately. Remember, to the outside world, say that my father-in-law is seriously ill, and you need to go to Liaodong to serve immediately, so that there will be no obstacles!"

"Why?" Ying'er said in surprise. He stared at Lu Zheng, and Dai Xiaojing also looked confused. I don't know why Lu Zheng had to ask them to return to Liaodong immediately after he arrived in Shandong. Could it be Shandong...

Lu Zheng sighed softly and said, "Ying'er, Xiaojing, Shandong is not a peaceful place! Your Majesty obeys me on the surface, but he is very cautious about me in secret! This time I came from Liaodong to take advantage of Shandong's convenience to find a way to open up the trade between Dongyi and Goryeo. But after arriving in Shandong, according to the news from the boy, all the gentry were almost negative. There must be a whole story behind this. I think our Majesty also played a certain role behind it!"

Ying'er said: "Why is Your Majesty like this? My husband has paid a huge price for resisting the invasion of the northwest for the country in Liaodong and cannot even take care of his life. Isn't he afraid of the ministers in the world being so upset?"

Ying'er is a straightforward person and says whatever he thinks. He can be said to be unrestrained. Lu Zheng shook his head slightly and sighed: "Ying'er, the emperor's mind has never been able to guess based on common sense. What's so strange about this? Now as long as you can go to Liaodong, I don't have much concern in Shandong. The Shandong gentry is not a monolithic piece. I believe that you can quickly break through one side and achieve your goal!"

Lu Zheng said this, and the whole family could understand it, but the food naturally didn't taste very good. Lu Zheng had already eaten it, so he went into the study room after eating it. The boy bent over and said:

"Prince, Boss Gu replied to the news from Beiyan that the unification of the Empress Dowager in Beiyan is now a foregone conclusion. No one in Beiyan can threaten the existence of the Empress Dowager. This situation may not be a good thing for me Dakang!"

Lu Zheng said: "It is better for women to ascend the throne than for young people to become emperors after they ascend the throne. Such Dakang cannot withstand the invasion of foreign enemies. If the Empress Dowager of Northern Yan ascends the throne, the females will inevitably be focused on consolidating their own regime, and there is hope that the trade will continue to be opened! In this way, if you ask Gu Zhilun to meet the Empress Dowager, Dakang absolutely supports the Empress Dowager! Moreover, our Dakang is willing to give the Empress Dowager auspiciousness to help the Empress Dowager rule the world!"

After Lu Zheng said this, the boy's face looked extremely shocked and said, "Prince, do you still need to think carefully about this? This is not a joke. A woman ascending the throne and becoming emperor is a very moral matter. If this matter is..."

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Are you worried that the Confucian scholars of Dakang will attack me? If this is true, then tell them that I am using this method against the enemy country. The more chaotic the enemy country is, the stronger we will be. The ascension of the enemy empress is an ominous sign, which indicates that our Dakang is the destiny of heaven. Do you know?"

The boy nodded and changed his tone: "The situation in Shandong is much more difficult than imagined. The Shandong gentry and even the Zhou family all held a wait-and-see attitude, such as this..."

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "The local gentry in Shandong is really hateful. Don't forget that we are all outsiders. If the local gentry does not listen to the hello, then we will cure them!

I, Lu Zheng, did not manage this matter. The Prime Minister and the Sixth Ministry asked me to find a way. I went back to see the old man and asked him to join forces with the Chen family and the Gu family to do it together. It was time to rectify Shandong. Otherwise, if we continue like this, we will not have any majesty. Is Dakang still the same Dakang?"

Seeing Lu Zheng say this, the boy couldn't help but feel trembling. He heard Lu Zheng's tone, he was about to kill someone! With this in mind, the boy couldn't help but feel excited. He was so busy in Shandong during this period!

Lu Zheng is the king of Liaodong and holds more than 100,000 soldiers in his hand. How noble is Dakang now? However, these tyrants in Shandong did not take Lu Zheng seriously. Lu Zheng's will could not be implemented in Shandong.

What's even more disgusting is that several wealthy families, including the Lu family and the Gu family, cannot gain a foothold in Shandong. After the Shandong gentry tacitly hugged Emperor Xinde's thigh, they resisted the wealthy families coming from Jiangnan. How can this be done?

Lu Zheng was talking to the boy, but the outsiders couldn't wait. It turned out that Lu Shanchang and others had been waiting for Lu Zheng for a long time! Lu Zheng hurriedly came out of his yard and headed straight to Lu Shanchang's conference hall. At this time, the Lu family, Gu family, and Chen family gathered together.

As soon as Lu Zheng arrived, everyone stood up together. Lu Zheng hurriedly said, "Seniors, you must not do this, Lu Zheng is the junior..."

"Prince, you come and the prince you granted by Your Majesty, we are all ministers, and the rituals of the monarch and the ministers cannot be abolished!" Gu Tiansheng said very verified. He saluted Lu Zheng seriously, and the people of the Chen family also saluted them. Only Lu Shanchang just smiled. Looking at his smile, the pride was beyond words.

After the greetings, Lu Zheng sat next to his grandfather. Gu Tiansheng said, "Prince, we have been waiting for you this time in Shandong for a long time. I'm afraid you know the situation in Shandong. I'm afraid you can't do this! The local tyrants in Shandong do not have the laws and regulations of my great karma in their eyes. If they don't abide by the rules of my great karma, how can they do this?"

Lu Zheng said: "What do you think of this matter for a few seniors? Lu Zheng was just here and didn't think of a proper way. If the seniors have any opinions, I'll listen attentively!"
